Nitra Deggi Mirch Powder

About this item

Deep red colour, gentle heat. Nitra Deggi Mirch Powder is a Punjabi-style chilli powder chosen for colour first and heat second.

Why cooks choose it

Deggi mirch gives gravies and marinades a rich, restaurant-style red with only mild-to-medium heat. That is why it is the chilli of choice for Punjabi gravies such as paneer makhani and dal makhani, and for the red coating on paneer tikka.

What to cook with it

• Paneer makhani and butter masala
• Paneer tikka and tandoori vegetables
• Dal makhani
• Rajma and chole

How to use

Use 1 to 2 teaspoons for a family-size gravy. For marinades, mix with thick yoghurt, ginger-garlic paste and lemon. Cook gently in oil or butter for the deepest colour.

Pack sizes

Available in 100 g, 200 g and 400 g packs.

Storage

Keep airtight and away from light, which fades the red colour.
